Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Hong Vinh stated that currently, communes, wards and towns in the province must simultaneously streamline the payroll according to Decree No. 34/2019/ND-CP of the Government, while implementing the policy of bringing regular police to communes and merging commune-level administrative units with a total surplus of 694 people.

Therefore, it is proposed that the Provincial People's Council supplement and amend the policy for surplus cadres arising due to the implementation of the Central Government's new policy in Resolution No. 15/2019/NQ-HDND, dated November 11, 2019 of the Provincial People's Council.
